Hello again, everybody.
 
The MPW manual was no help concerning the conversion of C to Pascal
strings. The manual also cryptically states that the function is
"c2pstr" and doesn't provide an example of how to convert a
normal, null terminated C string into a Str255.
 
 
char *p2cstr();
char *c2psstr(); /* typo in the prototype or in the manual */
 
I have written some applications in LSC and would like to become
competent in MPW before I enter the job market (!)
If someone could please provide a working example of C to Pascal string
conversion in MPW I would be eternally grateful.
(By the way, I remember reading here that someone was completely
disgusted with the way LSC handled these conversions. I'd like to know
why.)
 
Let's get comp.sys.mac.programmer off to a good start and give me an
answer! (This posting was completely ignored on comp.sys.mac)
 
If I sound desperate, I am. (Even if I don't, I am.)
